District was involved.<\/p>\n<p>Festival attendees leave so much behind which, if it can be collected, can be used by people at home and overseas.\u00a0 No matter how many volunteers go along they are never able to collect all of the items left behind.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday 19<sup>th<\/sup> August Soroptimists from SI Cannock &amp; District were joined by local Councillor Hyra Sutton and parliamentary candidate Amanda Milling to help with the grand \u2018clear-up\u2019 at Weston Park following another very successful V Festival.<\/p>\n<p>Wearing wellies and other appropriate clothing members set to work dismantling and re-packing tents, rolling up air beds, collecting chairs, buckets, bowls, sleeping bags and unopened tinned food\u2013 and anything else left behind by the revelers which was in good condition and might be of use to others.<\/p>\n<p>The tents were all taken to the International Aid trucks; they will be used in disaster areas around the world.\u00a0 All other items this group collected will be used by Pathway, the local refuge for women victims of domestic violence and by Staffordshire Women\u2019s Aid \u2013 in fact, many of the items collected have already been put to good use by local women who are in need.<\/p>\n<p>The V Festival clear-up is a true example of voluntary organisations working together and giving service to help others.\u00a0 Everyone who went along thoroughly enjoyed the experience and they know that all of the goods will be put to excellent use by those who need them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2014\/08\/v-clear-up.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-624\" alt=\"v clear up\" src=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2014\/08\/v-clear-up-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2014\/08\/v-clear-up-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2014\/08\/v-clear-up-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2014\/08\/v-clear-up.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2014\/08\/bag-ladies-at-V.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-627\" alt=\"bag ladies at V\" src=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2014\/08\/bag-ladies-at-V-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2014\/08\/bag-ladies-at-V-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2014\/08\/bag-ladies-at-V-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2014\/08\/SI-CD-at-V-with-truck.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-628\" alt=\"SI CD at V with truck\" src=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2014\/08\/SI-CD-at-V-with-truck-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2014\/08\/SI-CD-at-V-with-truck-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2014\/08\/SI-CD-at-V-with-truck-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2014\/08\/SI-CD-at-V-with-truck.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Photos attached: 1:V Festival Sorops: Trish Mellor;
